QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) Well, De Aza's BABIP is .154 and Bautista's .209. Bautista's is still way below average. I was merely wondering if a low BABIP meant a player sucked, because you said De Aza's .154 "showed he sucks". All it shows is that Bautista is getting less hits than he should expect the way he's been hitting, and De Aza's been getting a lot less. That's not to say they're aren't legitimate issues with De Aza, who is walking less and striking out more. Although I do think it's funny how you note De Aza is striking out "all the time", when he's striking out more than 10% less than Tyler Flowers. I didn't mean because De Aza's is at .154 means he sucks. I meant he sucks because I am watching him bat and currently he sucks

Conor has been good in the 3 hole

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:27 PM) He won't last more than a few years in the majors if he can't regain his velocity. Some how the Rangers only have one hit. If he could just find his fastball he would be pretty good.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) Yeah ok dude Jose's career average is .254. He is currently batting .254 with 6 home runs and 21 walks. I don't see how you are comparing him and De Aza? Bautista is currently batting how he always does and De Aza is doing horrible, striking out all the time. IF both their BPwhatever are close to one another that should show you how stupid that stat is.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) No I'm wondering if you think Bautista's low BABIP means he sucks. And also I thought the stat just annoyed you. Now it's stupid? I can get not wanting to pay attention to it, but surely you recognise its usefulness? I wish De Aza was hitting .255 with 6 home runs and 21 walks. Bautista is right at his career average so that shows why BABIP is stupid.

Holy s***

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:13 PM) And Jose Bautista? Are you comparing De Aza to Bautista?? Just because of a stupid stat?

He was literally leaning towards 2nd. I guess Johnson wasn't paying attention to much

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) .154 BABIP since you love it so much Which means he sucks!!

IF the Rangers decided not to swing ever he would walk everyone

For the love of god throw strikes!!

De Aza is so bad right now.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) So you think major league players have to be told daily to call for pop ups? There was a failure there without a doubt, but this one is on the players. Yep, you learn that in little league. From experience, some times you forget to when the ball is in the air and you are trying to catch it but I would expect Major League players not to make that mistake

Johnson bailed out for another inning

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:55 PM) It's one of the more remarkable things about the season. It's 120 points higher than anyone in the league. So you have to bring it up all the time? I hate that stat. All I care about is he is getting hits more then 30% of the time right now.

Either Gillaspie can't talk or Flowers is deaf

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:53 PM) He has nothing once again Well when you can't throw your 89 MPH fastball for a strike you must have no confidence at all.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:50 PM) It's annoying in the context of the way it's being presented. It's as if we shouldn't care that our guy just got on base because advanced stats says it's not gonna last forever. This.. He brings up all the time and it is getting annoying. I think we know Flowers isn't going to sustain this. I don't need some advanced stat to tell me that every game

I can't explain how frustrating it is to watch him not throw strikes.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Apr 20, 2014 -> 02:39 PM) The Tyler Flowers BABIP Tour continues. Do you bring up this stupid stat in every thread?

Danks!!! It would be awesome for him to get started

Flowers has been getting so many soft hits, awesome!

Might as well not even throw your fastball Johnson. Just keep throwing sliders and change ups

How can you not throw your fastball for a strike?!?!
